A review by kylieqrada
The Beauty Myth by Naomi Wolf

5.0

This one is a classic for a reason. While it was a hard read at times (tw for rape, surgery, violence against women, diet culture, etc.), I absolutely loved every minute of it. While this book is definitely dated (it was published in the 90s), it is every bit as applicable to today's climate as it was back then. A foundational, and incredibly truthful book that cuts to the real heart of the beauty myth: keeping women under control.
